[41]

Again then, Athenians,
it is not merely necessary to consider how Leucon may be spared
injustice—a man whose anxiety about his privilege would arise from a
sense of honor rather than from his needs—but we must also consider
whether another man, who did you service when he was prosperous, may not find
that the exemption he received from you then is a matter of necessity to him
now. To whom, then, do I refer? To Epicerdes of Cyrene, than whom no recipient of this honor ever deserved it
better, not because his gifts were great or extraordinary, but because they came
at a time when we were hard put to it to find, even among those whom we had
benefited, anyone willing to remember our benefactions.
